Link vS Legolas

He hit the dude, but didn't kill him. I was merely refuting your "never misses" statement.

1 arrow and 3 arrows all bounce off a metal shield just the same.

The equestrian fighting is an idea that Zelda's creator has had for years, but could never do because of technology restraints. Legolas wasn't really a big horseman fighter either, in the movies at least he did once on the road to Helm's Deep (he got off pretty early too) and in the last charge in Helm's Deep. He rode a horse to get around, but doesn't everyone? 😉

Ok, the object here is for Legolas to hit Link in the head. Not the shield, the head. Not an easy thing to do against someone as good as Link, seeing as the shield's almost as big as he is. And Link has a bow too. And the Fire Rod/Ice Rod.

Link has much more close range stuff than Legolas. MASTER SWORD and a shield, hammer, bombs, Din's Fire, you name it. Plus, Link also has invulnerability magic. And the Fierce Deity mask. And the Giant's Mask. And a BOOMERANG!!!

The shield isn't THAT big, so if Legolas shoots three arrows at the same time, and dialoganly, then one arrow would get him.
Now, LEgolas is an average horseman. We see him gallop into the elven city in LOTR 1, on a horse.

Legolas is much more agile, and acrobatic. Face it.

But in the end, you can't compare these. Legolas is in a movie, which has real weapons, limited magic. LoZ is a made up video game, with made up weapons, made up levels, and so on.

Please don't fogert that Legolas has twin blades that he always carries with him. Twin blades that he is actually quite skilled with. So don't just rule him out on the close-range debate.

I actually don't know who'd win this. It's very close in my opinion.

Link, just because I am a fan of zelda, and I am not a fan of The Lord of the Rings...

Link kicks his fruity a**

Legolas

Link has magic and skills and all, but Legolas can summon an army of fan-girls to do his dirty work, damn his orlando-bloom charm!

will link be able to fight off the fan girls? tune in next time!

Link is so more pimp than Legolas. Fierce Deity is HOT!!! (haha jk) Seriously though, his b!tch is a princess. And another elf chick. And that farm girl. And another princess from the Zora. And that's just Ocarina.

And how can Legolas shoot 3 arrows at the same time from different angles?

And btw, Legolas is from a BOOK! NOT A FREAKING MOVIE!!! THE MOVIE IS ABOUT THE BOOK! Sorry, Tolkien doesn't get nearly enough love.

And all of this arguing is pointless yet again. Link has a giant mask. He grows several hundred times his normal size. And he can turn invincible.

I have come up with more reasons as why legolas should win as I was just watching the Two Towers.

Firstly Legolas has a excellent shot which is proved by the fact that he shot the rope connected to the ladder which sent them all flying.

Secondly he is also very strong as he himself on his own lifted Aragon and Gimli together.

Thirdly when he was using his twin blades he definely knew how to use them.

Fourthly while running away from the horde of orcs he was to fire at them while running.

Fifthly he is also damn good at long shot being able to shoot the scout off his warg.

Sixthly he has excellent balance being able to go down a stairs on a shield while firing at orcs

Seventhly he also has got a damn good sight being able to spot which direction the orcs were heading in

Ok,

First, Link is extremely proficient with a shield. In the SNES games, anything that came your way when the shield was up got BLOCKED aside from some of the uber-boss magic attacks.

Second, Link has a Giant Mask, making him several hundred times his size and with strength to match. Aragorn and Gimli aren't shit. And when did Legolas pick both of em up anyways? Either way, if you consider the amount of stuff Link carries, he's gotta be bitchin strong.

Third, Link is basically a swordmaster. Plus his sword would have longer reach. Weapon skill is nothing.

Forth, Link can twist around on a galloping horse and fire a bow with accuracy. Running is nothing.

Fif, Link plays quite a few games involving jumping rupees and stuff that you have to shoot. He's a plenty good archer. Plus he's got fire, ice, and light arrows for easy kills, and the ever popular shield.

Sixth, uh... ok, he can balance. So can Link. Link jumps off cliffs several times taller than him, goes into a roll to break the fall, comes out of the roll on his feet and keeps running like it's nothing.

Seventh, Link doesn't need to hide. Probly won't be when he whips out his third of the Triforce and wishes Legolas into nothing. Or puts on the Giant Mask and grows hundreds of times his normal size. Or uses Nayru's love to make him invincible. Too many things to do. Link doesn't lose to just any mortals.

God, this thread finally picked up into organized arguments. I love it.

Legolos has arrows but he doesn't have: fire, ice, and light arrows, LINK HAS ALL THOSE! Link would kick that preety boys a$$! You know I'd love to see a battle between Lagolos and Link, so I can see Link kick his ASS! 💃 😘 , see Link is the bannana he is dancing cause he beat Legolos, and Legolos is the sick face, he looks like that cause he took to many blows to the stomach, FROM LINK!

Thats strange as in Resident Evil games the characters can be carrying up to a few guns and items yet they are only human, the fact is its a game and you don't see them on him so are his pockets magic, I don't think so.

Legolas is very fast, as Link would raise his sword to strike Legolas would be able to fire an arrow into his chest

Legolas has already done that, you can see it in The Two Towers, basicly Link stole that move from Legolas

Have you seen The Return of the King? Legolas jumps on to an elephant about the size of a four story building, kills most of the people on it and then kills the elephant with three arrows and then rides down the trunk of it while its falling

As mentioned Link doesn't have the third piece

Ok, hauling them with a rope does not count. Cuz he uses the wall, it's one of simple machines in use- we call it a primitive pulley. Plus he had a few guys helping him. I was kidding about the strength thing. Link does have power bracelets though. Allowing him to literally pick up and throw boulders literally 10 times taller and wider than Link.

Link doesn't need to kill Legolas with a sword. And if it comes down to blades vs. blades, Link would have the reach advantage. Why do you think sword beats dagger? Legolas is quick, but not good enough to pull both his bow and an arrow off of his back, draw it, and fire at a guy who is within striking distance of him.

Umm... Hate to break it to one of Orlando's dreamy-eyed fangirls (sorry, had to) but Ocarina of Time came out BEFORE Two Towers the movie. Not everything in the movie happened in the book (Helm's Deep was less than a chapter. The main focus of it was the Gimli-Legolas competition)

I was kidding about the balance thing too. Balance won't do crap for Legolas when he's impaled on a sword or an arrow or burnt to a crisp by magic.

The methods of Link not hiding were exaggerated. But when Ganandorf claimed the Triforce in Ocarina, the piece with courage went to Link. The full thing is needed for the wish though... And fierce deity, giant link, and Nayru's Love Link would all beat up Legolas too.

Forth, Link can twist around on a galloping horse and fire a bow with accuracy. Running is nothing.

Link can't do that in Ocarina of Time, you only see him do that in the new to be released Zelda, so Legolas has done it before him

Too many things to do. Link doesn't lose to just any mortals.

Don't know if you know but Legolas is a elf.

I would like to add with age comes wisdom and battle skills which is really handy for Legolas as he is 7000 years old.

And if it comes down to blades vs. blades, Link would have the reach advantage. Why do you think sword beats dagger?

Oh don't be so sure, a dagger is alot lighter and quicker to move than a sword, so legolas can also have the advantage.

Legolos has arrows but he doesn't have: fire, ice, and light arrows, LINK HAS ALL THOSE! Link would kick that preety

The only real arrow of advantage is the ice arrows, basicly Legolas could easily get a flaming arrow, and a light arrow would go at the speed legolas normaly shoots at, plus what real affect would an ice arrow have on any one?

"light arrow would go at the speed legolas normaly shoots at, plus what real affect would an ice arrow have on any one?"
thats not exactly true light arrow goes at normal speed but it just basicly pure light and would finish him off

Nope. In Ocarina, you can use a bow from horseback. And if you Z target a dude and he goes behind you, you can shoot at him. The thing in the new Zelda is equestrian sword fighting.

I know Legolas is an elf, but elves aren't immortal, they can die by physical means or from a broken heart. And age doesn't mean battle skills, necessarily. In RA Salvatore's series about the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden, it is pointed out that many humans and the like match the greatest elf warriors and sorcerors because their shorter lives make them more ambitious, so they work towards their goals harder. Aragorn is just as good (if not better) as a warrior than Legolas, he's 80, Legolas is 7000. The elven legions at Helm's Deep all get cut down as well. Experience helps, but is not the only factor in overall skill. Plus Link has plenty of experience himself.

I was talking about 2 warriors with equal skill in their respective weapons, sword vs. dagger. Sword wins because of the enormous reach advantage, because the dagger guy can't do anything outside of throwing em. If he tries to get close, he wouldn't have enough leverage to block a good sword chop, plus a good swordsman should be able to cut the guy down before he CAN get close. And Link has a shield. And Legolas's blades aren't designed for throwing.

And btw, ice arrows can FREEZE you. Hence the name "ice". And Link also has fire and ice rods, plus there's a way to use bomb arrows in some of the 2D Zelda games. (long range stuff)

Link , Legolas can be better than link in the bow ,but Link is like a combination of Aragorn , Gimlin , Legolas , Gandalf. He has the streng of gimlin with his gold bracelets , the abilitie of aragorn with a sword , and the magic of gandalf , Legolas is in a really bad situation
